Sluice water flow over Angus Mckirk "Eureka"

How much water flow does everyone suggest over the Angus Mckirk Eureka sluice? I watched several videos and saw anywhere from just a trickle on some of the smaller Angus models to almost completely submerged sluices with lots of water flow.
Do you look for the same "V" as in a Keene sluice?
I also saw people dumping scoop fulls of screened material on the sluice or sprinkling it out slowly.
All opinions will be appeciated.

This sluice needs decent water flow and you can feed it at an almost nonstop scoop at a time if screened down to 1/4".
